Yellowcard

The lineup for this year's Edgefest II will make emo fans want to lace up their Chucks and trudge over to Toronto's Molson Amphitheatre.

The music festival — which has previously featured performances by Hole, Billy Talent, Sloan and Alexisonfire — has been drawing fans of big name international acts and Canadian indie bands for 20 years now.

This year's main stage acts include headliners and wannabe Canadians Yellowcard, The All-American Rejects, recent Alternative Press cover stars Hawthorne Heights, Story Of The Year, Matchbook Romance, Ill Scarlett and Anberlin.

Edge 102.1's "Next Big Thing" stage is always a draw, and this year it shouldn't disappoint. The Meligrove Band, Magneta Lane (who played Chart's Canadian Music Week showcase in March), The Miniatures, Panic And The Rebel Emergency and In-Flight Safety will grace the supporting stage.

The Bedlam Society/Dine Alone third stage will make eardrums bleed, with The Junction, Cancer Bats and Attack In Black tearing it up.

More bands will be announced at a later date.

Edgefest II will go down on July 16, with tickets going on sale on May 5 at 2 p.m. All tickets are general admission and will set you back $39.25 plus applicable service charges. Go to the Ticketmaster website for more information or to order online.
